Eco Bin: Episode 4
We’re ready to cut the plywood to size then layout the plywood tenons. Once the tenon positions have been accurately transferred from the mortised frame, the tenons can be cut and then test fit.

The housing dados in the back of the drawer are next, which will then feature a through mortise. Once the housing, mortise and tenon are cut and fit, a dry run is followed by gluing up the drawer.

The storyboard is critical to getting the angled mortises correctly laid out. Then the mortises can be chopped and a tenon cut and fit.
We’re ready to make the drawer with dovetails at the front and housing dado at the back. Paul cuts a rebate on the dovetail section to help with constructing the half lap dovetail, then cuts the dovetails to size.
With the wood together, Paul lays out a storyboard. Then the grooves for the ply panels are run in the posts before the initial mortise layout and the mortise guide is made.
How do you go about adding a drawer to a workbench? First step is to cut the hole in the apron and then build the framework to support the drawer.
Need somewhere to put the stuff of life? This bin can be used for recycling, household linen, kid’s toys and even everyday waste. Great for mastering angled mortise and tenons and using ply panels extending as through tenons in mortise holes to give added strength to the whole.
A turned nob makes a great addition to a cabinet and Paul takes us through the full turning process so you can make your own. Then the finish is applied to the cabinet before a catch and the handle are fitted to finish off the project.
With the initial fit of the door complete, it can be hinged to the carcass. Then the mirror is cut to size and fixed in place with some rebated retainers.
